Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 209

"That's true."

Evelyn had always been hesitant about having children. If only all kids were as thoughtful and well-behaved as Edmund.

"Don't overthink it," Isabel said with a gentle smile, noticing her friend's solemn expression. "My situation is unique. You and Mr. Richard are so in love, and you have such a wonderful personality. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful child." After all, parents are a mirror for their children. Her own marriage to Adrian had been loveless. No matter how she tried to raise Oliver, it was difficult to change the traits he had inherited. And the Blackwell family genes were quite strong. Aside from old Mrs. Blackwell, the rest of them had treated her with coldness and disdain.

"Eat up." Evelyn returned the gesture, placing food on Isabel's plate. "Let's not dwell on the unpleasant past. The future will only get better for us. Come on, let's have a drink to that! Cheers!"

"Cheers."

Isabel raised her glass. Edmund quickly lifted his own glass of juice. "Daddy, we're waiting for you."

Julian placed the prepared crab meat into Edmund's bowl, wiped his hands with a warm towel, and then raised his glass.

Clink.

The sound of glasses tapping together echoed through the room, a picture of domestic bliss.

Meanwhile, in Aurelia City's finest hotel, the atmosphere was starkly different. Adrian had ordered Oliver's favorite burger, but he was preoccupied with work. He didn't notice his son's dejected mood or the untouched food.
